I take it the two machines are networked together? If so, you can
consider modem sharing software. Here are a selection of sites with a

http://www.microsoft.com/sbserver/downloads/modem.asp
http://www.speedguide.net/Cable_modems/cable_lans.shtml
http://cws.internet.com/modem.html

Take your time with them. There's a lot on these sites.
